  1. Our modern society is entirely based on seeming good rather than being good. And I get extremely angry when I run into the people that reinforce this attitude. My emotions get the better of me and I have to choose between humiliating them or walking away. And given that I’m too conscientious, I walk away and wish I could walk away entirely from this society.

  2. What’s also crazy about that is broadcloth (laken) was so good at keeping people warm. They don’t look very packed at all clothingwise. Really something I wish we would make clothes of more often.

  3. Deutschland über alles! I would not mind if it had been the background music for the entire video.

  4. I love how the most basic battery is exactly what I imagined and is most efficient.

  5. Honestly this is why science should not be a job. People will literally make up problems and solutions to the made up problems to keep their job. It should be a hobby that got out of hand because of the sheer curiosity and intelligence of that person. That way also at least he only wastes his own money when he turns out to be bad at it.

  6. Thanks for sharing this information.

  7. No, he had countless amounts of patents of other people at his fingertips. Plus the theories of many other bright minds that he 'took' from.

  8. Agreed, chemical polution of our waters is still a massive issue that very few people address, even in Europe! Where we pretend to have everything in order, as if these things only happen in third world countries. I can tell you, factories on our continent do still LEGALLY dump chemical waste into our rivers. Why? Because government opts to go for "as long as it's not proven to be bad, you can dump it". Rather than opting for new synthetic chemicals to be forbidden for dumping unless tested. It is a total mess. And AnThroPogEnIC cLiMatE cHanGe and so forth is a massive distraction.

  10. I’ve known this all along, way before I started. But my field is helped by laws which require investigation.

  11. Basically the same situation as the C19 vaccine. Not enough research to know what it does. And thus it is reasonable to wait until we do know, because if it IS harmful and we find out AFTER we've put it in place, we have harmed millions of people and wasted tons of money.

  12. Interesting, me as a non-expert often said, what if it isn't actually the CO2, but simply the heat we create? Also, I live in an apartment block where the pipes are always hot, always, so also in summer. Very stupid design.

  17. If you don’t understand it, you needn’t have an opinion on it. Just ignore and move on.

  18. I'll be honest, I don't understand what you're saying. I've learned about the simple quantum mechanics in high school in which they represent the results of these slit experiments with waves and so forth. I've learned a little bit about space time and how gravity is just curved spacetime. But I probably only memorized it rather than understanding it.

  19. Wasn't there this German working in the USA who made up research about superconductors for years and people believed him without anyone having done replication? Simply because he worked at a prestigious research center.

  20. Thanks for this. I also have digestive issues. And while the sensitivity is partly inherited, the modern food producers really try their best to agitate my gut.

  21. Yes. But is eugenics bad? Is girls choosing a more handsome competent healthy mate eugenics?

  22. Don't worry about it, covid was a massive overreaction, lets not do that again.

  23. I mean, there have been warmer periods and colder periods throughout history. Climate has always swinged back and forth and perhaps this is a part of that. We only started doing accurate real time measurements very recently on the climate scale. The only long term indicator I know of is the history of the permafrost. If it does get colder here, then it doesn't actually get colder than it has ever been before. In fact there have been plenty of reports on very cold winters here in the Netherlands about a century ago, which we don't have right now. But since everything goes in cycles, we will see this again.

  24. You can call it something else. Like, the warm stream. “Oh but that’s not specific enough”, just use it in the context.

  25. Truth is that the people advocating things like IoT and driverless cars are so obsessed with making these things happen that they're willing to put others at a mild risk. That in and of itself should warn you.

  26. I think the big takeaway from this video is that hydrogen is stored UnDeR PreSsUrE.

  27. Some kind of visualization would be nice. I just woke up and it's not entering my brain at all. Okay, just had to skip ahead a minute.

  28. I’d rather they burn those throwaway plastics than to put them in a landfill where they get carried away by the elements and subsequently poison our environment.

  29. Now I understand why they teach lies in school, most children wouldn't understand a bit of how it actually works. I'm glad therefor though that this video exists. It's crazy though that such an issue so many people 'worry' about or 'lobby' for, a thing that so many people believe in, isn't understood by any of them. I suppose this is innately a human thing. Where, if you accept you are not smart enough to understand it, you put trust in people smarter than you. However unfortunately people smarter than you also make mistakes or misrepresent or even lie. On the other hand there's people that do think they're smart enough, yet don't have the full picture at all. We are only human after all.

  30. What if we use windmills to pump a massive amount of water up to a mountain. And then if we need energy we let the water flow down at a controlled rate through a watermill. (I hereby copyright this idea ;) ) And yes I'm Dutch... EDIT: Ah fuck, 6 minutes into the video and it already exists. No wonder I suppose. EDIT2: If you don't have a hill I suppose you can use the windmills as a water tower or just build a water tower next to the windmills. (copyrighted by me, lets go baby) EDIT3: I suppose water can evaporate though, need some really thick walls.

  32. No, I will not 'shut up and listen to the experts'. As many self-proclaimed 'experts' who aren't even good at doing research or interpreting appear on TV to spout nonsense. My gut feeling is genuinely better at discerning reality than these clowns are.

  33. Hey a friend brought me here and I’m so glad I’ve found a channel covering science that actually knows what a primary source is and looks critically at other people’s work. All other channels seem to just be science cultists who try to make science look like some kind of magic that will solve all of our problems, thus making scientists untouchable saviors who may not be questioned.

  34. Wow finally someone that talks about science publicly who admits that the climate models are not good predictors because they are too simplistic. It's about time politicians stop forcing this iT's gOinG tO WArM 2 DeGrEeS iF wE dOn'T do SoMeThiNg on us. The MODELS which are NOT good at prediction yet say this, bah.

  35. As you said, this field is politically sensitive. The results is that the researchers themselves become political. They don’t just have confirmation bias, they are zealous priest and their religion is climate change. I will never trust a word these people say.

  36. Thanks. People oughta just use some common sense.

  37. Because we’ve made scientist into a job. And people tend to rely on their job to eat and house themselves. Thus they will produce research and papers to get money, instead of taking the time and inspiration to really explore a subject. Ironically the solution would be to stop funding research. If someone really wants to know something, they will do the research themselves, with their own funds. If they don’t have the funds, that is just unfortunate reality of life.

  38. Furthermore, because people’s livelihoods depend on it, they’d rather be safe and repeat what everyone else says. Rather than to risk their status and say something opposing.

  39. I knew this even before I’d seen the inside of a University, just by thinking of how they probably make their money. Which is why it took me nearly a decade to be convinced to enter it. I’m glad for you and your path and the success it’s had.

  40. Honestly why do we take so much risk just for even more convenience. I think I said this line before, but it really should be said more. Some day I'll live away from it all and I'll blow up any such machine they put in my area... Some day...

  41. Is the use of Google Scholar broad in the publishing community? Pretty scary that Google controls what 'doctors' read and so forth. If you are not aware that they manipulate the results then you are letting yourself be manipulated.

  42. Interesting the EU can react this quickly to something new like AI, but fails to stop the massive waves of immigrants. It's almost if they don't WANT to stop mass migration...

  43. 14:44 Only part I wholly agree with. Primary sources people, primary sources!

  44. Plants capture CO2. Honestly CO2 is the least of our worries. Industrial life has polluted much of out environment, dumping toxic waste in rivers and showering food with weedkillers, making us sick. But for some reason climate change gets all the attention and we keep poisoning our people.

  45. Degenerates, nothing more.

  46. I hate long words because they always turn into abbreviations, and abbreviations aren't words. I hate abbreviations. Just make the phrase or term shorter! Like, southern jetstream instead of southern hemisphere jet stream. And Atlantic circulation instead of Atlantic meridional overturning circulation.

  47. This reminds me of this random video I came across where they said pulled out a quote of Tesla about frequency and resonation or something. And they claimed they could kill cells (they of course only mentioned cancer cells) if they could find the resonation frequency of said cells.

  48. Boy I miss the 19th century in which publishers were independent. And no one pEeR rEviEwEd a paper. Just read the stuff and tried it out themselves to see if it was true. Current 'scientific community' is a bunch of toxic gate keeping idiots. I'm sorry to say.

  52. I may not understand the process. But I do understand a simple concept. Which is, if you (nearly) fully understand something, you can make reliable predictions. Like with the way the stars move around us, we can simulate it. But so far, we still cannot reliably predict climate change nor even tomorrows weather or often not even that in the next hour. So I will not put my money and effort in an issue that the brightest minds don't understand. And especially all the politics around it is a big red flag for me, where they all make vastly unfounded claims and pretend to understand it. Regardless I am ALWAYS frugal with the environment and the resources it offers us. Simply because I'd like for our environment to stay healthy and supply our future generations with resources. Don't need to believe in anthropogenic climate change for that.
